Welcome to Proper Mental episode 63, this week’s guest is Susie Weaver, a campaigner, advocate and blogger.
Susie is a passionate advocate for young people’s mental health, in 2019 she launched the S.H.I.T. Tee campaign, with the main message for young people being that it’s ok to feel shit, but it’s a lot more ok if you don’t feel alone.
100% profit from every single sale goes to Young Minds, raising an incredible £35,000 so far and still going strong.
Susie and I caught up to chat about her own experience with depression while at university, the idea behind the S.H.I.T campaign and how celebrities getting on board has helped to spread the positive message further than she ever imagined.
We also chat about learning to love yourself, the positives and negatives of social media and being an ambassador for My Black Dog and the amazing work they do.
